Blanchelande Park Residential & Nursing home
At Blanchelande Park there is a vibrant and active atmosphere with residents free to come and go as they please.
Friends and family are welcome to visit at any time and often enjoy the delicious meals in the restaurant, take tea in the panoramic Treetops Conservatory or the Pavilion. Some like to accompany the residents on walks within the grounds or local area, or to take them for a ride in ‘Blanche’, our own wheelchair-enabled vehicle.
During the night, the nurse in charge will happily check on residents if they wish. If you prefer more privacy, each room is equipped with a Nurse Call system that can be used at any time if assistance is required.
Nursing
It is the quality of nursing care that distinguishes Blanchelande Park as being an outstanding home. Care Manager Rosalind Rix can call on her extensive experience of caring for elderly people in Guernsey. Both she and her deputy have achieved qualifications in Care of the Older Person. They are highly qualified to lead their team of Registered Nurses (RNs).
There is at least one RN on duty at all times, day and night. They are chosen for their experience in Care of the Older Person and continually update their knowledge by attending courses in this field.
The RN’s are supported by carers, senior carers and healthcare assistants. Many of our carers hold NVQ qualifications in care up to Level 3.
When you decide to make Blanchelande Park Nursing and Residential Home your home, you can be assured that our excellent care team can provide whatever level of care you require.

Financial Assistance
The States of Guernsey provide an excellent and generous Long Term Care Benefit Scheme for those who have residential qualifications and have obtained a Nursing or Residential Certificate from the Needs Assessment Panel. These benefits are not means tested, so residents have a right to financial support regardless of their circumstances.
